Preface Operative Neuromodulation is a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary biomedical and biotechnological field that opens new options and possibilities not only for helping patients but also for understanding the role of the nervous system in modulating all other bodily systems. Many specialties are involved and multidisciplinary collaboration is necessary for the further progress of the field. The International Neuromodulation Society (INS) exists to promote, disseminate, and to be an advocate for the science, education, best practice and accessibility of all aspects of neuromodulation. The INS is directly associated with the International Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS) which aims to promote the research, application, and understanding of electrical stimulation as it is utilized in the field of medicine. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) has realised the potential of the field and recently created a Neuromodulation Committee. Undoubtedly, many other neuromodulation committees will be founded in other specialties and all of them, in close collaboration with the INS, will advance neuromodulation. With this book,
we aim t
